When you create a local or a network distributed or network station application, an All
Users account is also added automatically to the Runtime Security list for the application.
By default, the account is allowed all run-time security codes.
All of this means that initially, after the FactoryTalk View SE software is installed, any
FactoryTalk system user you create will be able to open, create, or modify an application
in FactoryTalk View Studio, or run an application in the FactoryTalk View SE Client.
To retain full access for all users, nothing further is required.
To restrict access to FactoryTalk system resources for selected users and computers, you
need to remove the All Users account, create accounts for the users and computers you
want to secure, and then give the accounts the appropriate security permissions.
For more information, see “Deciding how to secure a FactoryTalk View SE application”
on page 5-8.
Logging users on to and off from FactoryTalk View SE
After the FactoryTalk View SE software is installed, all users have full initial access to
network and local applications on the computer.
There is no need to log on, to run FactoryTalk View Studio, the FactoryTalk View SE
Administration Console, or a FactoryTalk View SE Client. The current Windows user is
automatically logged on to FactoryTalk View SE.
However, you do need to log on and off to change users, or to gain access to secured parts
of the FactoryTalk system.
The following sections describe how to log on to and off from FactoryTalk View SE
software components, and the FactoryTalk Directory.
Logging on to the FactoryTalk Directory
To log on to the FactoryTalk Directory in the current Windows session, you can:
 Open or run a FactoryTalk View SE application in the FactoryTalk View SE Client,
FactoryTalk View Studio, or the FactoryTalk View SE Administration Console.
 Use the Log On to FactoryTalk tool.
To open the Log On to FactoryTalk tool
 Select Start > All Programs > Rockwell Software > FactoryTalk Tools > Log On
to FactoryTalk.
The All Users account is visible in the Runtime Security editor, but not in the User Groups folder
that contains other FactoryTalk group accounts. For information about removing All Users from
Runtime Security and from the FactoryTalk Directory, see page 5-14 and page 5-22 respectively.
